Bah, humbug. "Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was." There has been crap music every year of my life. A whole bunch of it was in my teens, the 70's. A whole bunch of fantastic music is being created every day, you just have to be willing to listen.

Three Republican state senators in North Carolina have demanded an investigation of state Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs.

They called for an investigation into Riggs' conduct by the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission.
What was Riggs' transgression? She mentioned reproductive rights in a campaign ad.
Forty generations back most of your genome traces back to a random subset of around twenty-six hundred individuals out of all your millions of ancestors. It’s unlikely that Charlemagne is one of them.
[Part of a continuing set of blog posts on genetics and genealogy] In the last post I described how you are descended from a vast number of ancestors, from all over the world. But how much of your …
You will only need to go back a few generations before you will find that some of your ancestors were actually in an in-family relationship, whether it be first- or second- cousin (and sometimes closer).
